FiiO x Jade Audio JM21
That's correct. Only imports to US are impacted. And prices in EUR are even lower now since the USD lost in value (and most Chinese sellers have USD prices).- theMUKe

Linsoul $1 Reservation Card (RC) For HarmonicDyne Athena
Ok guys, so here is the catch. For shipping these headphones Linsoul charges a minimum of 32$... For comparison, the Sivga Oriole, a 199$ headphone, ships for free, as do many other products... So this is where Linsoul tries to rip off their customers! Was interested but not buying these...- theMUKe

Linsoul $1 Reservation Card (RC) For HarmonicDyne Athena
New psychological tricks from the sales department 😉 Still I think it's an interesting new sales model for both Linsoul and customers: - Linsoul generates additional revenue by non-refundable micro payments for the reservations.

Two New Compact MTouch Portable Players – Shanling M0 Pro and M1s
Great to see more MTouch players being released! MTouch gives fast boot times and good responsiveness. Several mid-tier Android-based DACs don't have adequate hardware and are slow and sluggish unfortunately. Also Tidal streaming with limited UI is a nice addition in MTouch. As long as...- theMUKe

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
Sundara but closed-back… wouldn‘t that deserve a brand new name? I guess Hifiman want to ride the Sundara success wave as long as possible and make the most of their popularity. But given it’s closed back I would expect a different sound signature. So no longer a true Sundara. …would be...- theMUKe

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
Overall I would say more vocal presence on Sundara. But very close for female vocals, these are also quite pronounced on HD560S.- theMUKe

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
I can provide a comparison between HD560S and Sundara. Detail retrieval is very good on both but the HD560S has a slight edge over Sundara. At the same time I prefer to listen to the Sundara since they sound a bit more laid back in comparison. In terms of soundstage I would also say it’s a...- theMUKe

Hifiman Edition XS Launched
Would it be possible to get good sound of Edition XS using a Hiby R5 Saber on balanced out? The R5 Saber outputs around 1000mW output into 32 ohms.- theMUKe

Turn player off, then insert card, then turn on again, and use folder browsing. If you really want to scan then you can only scan entire library each time.- theMUKe

Astell&Kern AK UW100 TWS Earbuds
Thanks! Sound comparison is totally sufficient. Considering that the AKG N400 is a fraction of the price of UW100 I don’t have to consider the latter.- theMUKe
